Middleboxes are ubiquitous in today’s networks and perform a variety of important functions, including IDS, VPN, firewalling, and WAN optimization. These functions differ vastl...
In Grids scheduling decisions are often made on the basis of jobs being either data or computation intensive: in data intensive situations jobs may be pushed to the data and in co...

This paper studies a load scheduling strategy with nearoptimal processing time leveraging the computational characteristics of parallel DNA sequence alignment algorithms, specific...
This paper considers the scheduling problems arising in two- and three-machine manufacturing cells configured in a flowshop which repeatedly produces one type of product and where ...
Inventory plays a major role in deciding the overall manufacturing costs, and a good scheduling system should balance the on-time delivery of products versus low work-in-process (W...
